You make the error of imposing today's realities on the realities of 20 years ago.

This is why I have to laugh when people like you call me and anyone else who disagrees with Bush's foreign polcies "leftists."

This same canard is often trotted out when talking about gun control...."Well if you want the right not to be infringed, go ahead and carry your musket anywhere you wish.."

What "reality" has changed in the past 20 years? As recently as July of 2001, the BUSH administration gave 43 million in aid (10 million in cash) to the TALIBAN.

You keep changing the subject. I was directly referencing your blast at Reagan, and your pretense that he should have somehow not backed the Afghanis in their war against the Soviets, because after all, in his infinite wisdom, he should have known that they would end up killing Americans...and acting as if somehow, that means our country backs its own enemies. You keep tweaking the timeline mercilessly.

I only said you are siding with the leftists, because it is their constant refrain that it is all the fault of those evil corporations. It is exactly that sort of class warfare rhetoric that folks like Daschle, Wellstone, Harkin, et all use to keep up the illusion of being 'for the little guy'.

Capitalism and corporations are not the enemy of my country...Islam is.

Later.
